Rate my avatars!

Hey everyone, I started making avatars a couple days ago and I wanted to get better. Can you guys please leave some comments/suggestions to the following avatars? (PS: If you like my work and you want to request an avatar from me, go here )

Maybe its just me but I don't like the funky boarders. I.e. solid lines as opposed to dashed/dotted lines.

Granted this is coming from the person who takes heat for having "no boarders" on my sig in the rate the sig above you thread... its there damn it... sorry.... going now... sooner or later... this is kind of fun... but you're probably getting sick of this hmm.........

Edit: I do like Gaara's boarder, but that is more or less three solid colored boarders.

Itachi looks great,just the right amount of light w/c give the pic a lot of personality, i deffinitely like how the you blended the colors for him, it made a complete and lively pic. I guess the better phrase is... if looks could kill

Sakura's nicely done too, but i have to admit that i find her closed eye a bit weird. as if its out of proportion or something. It would have been cleaner if the left eyebrow did not extend to the upper-bridge fot he nose. Then again, tou're real godd at lighting, skin tone, shadow and hair collor mixes too damn well...

I'm sorry but I don't dancy Gaara's that much... Nice lighting but the skin tone kinda gives of a doll-like appearance w/c is unbecomming of him, nice attempt on the hair but it's a bit too detailed for me, this gives of an artificial look.

Overall, You ROCK! You have a clear understanding of light and dark effects, skin tone and color blending are superb... Damn... I wish i could get just as good as you, I suck in this field, Tha could be the reason that I know what i wanna see.
